Chapter 1304 Mr. Zhou is here! Go through the back door
"three."
"two."
"one."
As the countdown ended, Li Li, dressed in a black dress and a black fluffy shawl, completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Warm applause and cheers suddenly broke out on the Yellow River Road. Li Li was also smiling happily and applauded vigorously.
As the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, the Zhizhen Garden was officially opened. Guests who received the invitation cheered and walked into the Zhizhen Garden. A full crowd instantly surrounded the hall of the Zhizhen Garden.
Huanghe Road, which was passed by Zhou Chen, has a lot more people than before. Zhizhenyuan is the largest hotel on the Yellow River Road. Many people have visited Zhizhenyuan before, so the luxurious decoration of Zhizhenyuan has been greatly improved.
It has been publicized.
Facing the largest and most luxurious hotel on the Yellow River Road so far, people on the Yellow River Road are very curious and want to enter it. Especially those guests who have received invitations from Zhizhen Garden feel even more honored and walk in with smiles on their faces.
Arrive at the True Garden.
Zhizhenyuan is known as the largest hotel on the Yellow River Road. It is not just a boast, it actually has this ability.
There are a total of 88 tables in the entire Zhizhen Garden from top to bottom, including more than 20 private rooms, ranging from the first to the third floor. There is absolutely no restaurant on the Yellow River Road that can compare with it.
After Li Li welcomed the guests who had arrived into Zhizhen Garden, he asked his waiters to start arranging services.
Manager Pan followed Li Li and listened to Li Li's instructions.
"Is there still no news from Mr. Zhou?"
"No, although our three invitations were accepted by the Zhou family's nanny, we never saw Mr. Zhou once, and Mr. Zhou didn't give any reply."
Li Li nodded with a thoughtful look on her face. She naturally expected Zhou Chen to come, but if Zhou Chen didn't come, she had nothing to do.
"Anyway, Mr. Zhou is different from others, so let's keep the private room reserved for him first."
"Do you want to keep it? There are many people outside clamoring for private rooms."
"Don't worry about those people. First arrange for Mr. Chen to go to Xijiangyue, Mr. Lu to Fengqiwu, and Mr. Tang for Zui Dongfeng. Don't arrange for Yi Jiangnan to go out either."
Manager Pan said: "I guess Mr. Bao may not be able to come tonight, but he made an appointment with Mr. Fan to go to Honglu."
Li Li smiled confidently: "Don't worry, let's wait and see."
Today she has invited many celebrities, but the reputation of these people on the Yellow River Road is far less than that of Zhou Chen and A Bao, so she very much hopes that Zhou Chen and A Bao can always come to Zhi Zhen Garden. As long as they come, today Zhi Zhen
The name of the garden was announced.
Especially Zhou Chen. As long as Zhou Chen comes, I'm afraid countless people will take a high look at their Zhizhenyuan.
And she has greater ambitions. Although Zhou Chen has not said that there will be a third venture capital conference, but if there is one, if there is, it can be held in Zhizhenyuan, then Zhizhenyuan will become famous in Shanghai in an instant.
When the time comes, businessmen from all over the country who come to Shanghai to seek opportunities will know about Zhizhenyuan.
By that time, even without relying on the people in the Shenzhen market and Nanguotou, she was sure that she would earn enough money to pay off Mr. A's debt within a few years.
The opening of Zhizhen Garden today has caused such a big commotion. If anyone on Huanghe Road is the most unhappy, it must be the proprietresses of Huanghe Road headed by Lu Meilin.
Because of Zhou Chen, Huanghe Road is more lively than last year. The competition among everyone was already fierce enough, but now there is suddenly another Zhizhen Garden, and it is also a menacing dragon. How can they be happy?
Jin Meilin is right next door to Zhizhenyuan. Lu Meilin has been very happy in the past two or three months and has been the best on Huanghe Road, so she is the most unhappy with Zhizhenyuan. At the same time, she can't keep her temper and has a hot temper.
Seeing that the opening of Zhizhen Garden was so lively, with countless people flocking to it, and the business of her restaurant being affected, she felt even more unhappy. When she was unhappy, she wanted to find trouble.
When she saw that the flower baskets from Zhizhen Garden were being placed at her door, she became very angry and walked over and kicked down the flower baskets in front of her.
"Hey, there is something wrong with the opening of your Zhizhen Garden, isn't it? Half of the Yellow River Road is blocked by wreaths, and you are not allowed to do business. Do you understand the rules?"
Manager Pan, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and walked over with a smile.
"Oops, I'm sorry, come on, come on, two people, come and clean it up."
Then she explained to Lu Meilin: "Today is the first day of opening. There are a lot of flower baskets. I'm sorry, I will clear them out immediately."
Lu Meilin frowned, smiling, but looking at Manager Pan with a mocking expression.
"Hey, who is this person? Isn't he Manager Pan from Golden Phoenix? It's not enough to send away a Golden Phoenix, and you dare to come back, so do you have to send Zhizhenyuan away this time before you give up? You'll be given away at the hotel.
Professional accountant, I’m talking about you.”
The person next to me who was in charge of opening music couldn't stand listening any longer and interrupted: "Madam boss, I'm opening a new business today, please stop saying a few words."
Unexpectedly, Lu Meilin spat out: "Bah, it's none of your business. You were the one who blew up about the death last week, right? You're the only one who talks a lot."
After scolding her for a few times, she felt that her anger was lessened, and then she looked at Manager Pan with contempt.
"I heard that your Zhizhen Garden opened, and you sent several invitations to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou paid attention to you, did you agree to come? Haha, you are really overestimating your capabilities, and you don't know where you came from.
Women dare to come to Huanghe Road to open a restaurant without asking."
She was full of resentment towards Li Li, who owned Golden Phoenix. She felt that if it weren't for Li Li, Golden Phoenix would be hers now. By then, she would rely on the popularity Zhou Chen brought to her to merge the two stores.
She will definitely become the most beautiful and profitable boss lady on the Yellow River Road.
In fact, her Jin Meilin is now one of the most profitable restaurants on Huanghe Road. At least in the past few months, it feels like it is catching up with Red Heron.
But people's hearts are not like snakes swallowing elephants. With such a good life now, she naturally wants to be better. In her eyes, Li Li is the enemy blocking her way of making money.
Taking someone's money is like killing your parents!
So she was full of resentment and anger towards Li Li. Now that Zhizhenyuan became more and more popular and its business opened more prosperously, she felt more and more depressed.
The smile on Manager Pan's face faded a bit. She knew that Jin Meilin's current success was directly related to Zhou Chen. Lu Meilin always talked about Zhou Chen, so no one could figure out what relationship between Lu Meilin and Zhou Chen.
How good is Chen's relationship? This is why many people dare not offend Lu Meilin.
The sky is getting dark, and Huanghe Road is extremely lively every night. More and more people come to Huanghe Road, making it very congested.
There were also a lot of cars today. Many people came to Huanghe Road in cars, and many of them came for the opening of Zhizhen Garden.
As time goes by, more and more celebrities come to Zhizhen Garden.
Jingxiu didn't even bother with the cigarette paper shop, and gathered with a group of people to introduce them to the big shots who had entered Zhizhen Garden.
"Look, look at those people. They are all big shots in the financial system."
"This guy who just got off the bus is amazing. He is a regular Shanghai foodie. He has the final say on the taste of the food on Yellow River Road."
"Xiao Liuzi is also here. The foreman of Zhapu Night Market who just appeared last year is also a ruthless character and has many subordinates."
"Have you seen these two people? They are two people who shoot TV, they can be considered celebrities."
"Oh, stars, there are actually stars."
"But they are not the biggest stars today. Do you know who the biggest stars are today?"
"Who is it? Come on, tell me, who is it?"
Jingxiu crossed his arms and said with a proud smile: "The biggest star will always appear last. Do you want to know his name? His name is..."
Suddenly, a car stopped in front of the Zhizhen Garden, and Manager Pan led someone to greet him. A man in a leather jacket got out of the car, and it turned out to be Hong Kong star Wen Zhaolun.
With the appearance of this big-name star, the scene was filled with exclamations. Fans and fans cheered in surprise and called his name loudly. He also waved to the surrounding crowd very politely.
Li Li soon welcomed Wen Zhaolun in person and even took photos with him.
Jingxiu was still surrounded by a group of people. Someone asked curiously: "Jingxiu, I heard that Zhizhenyuan also sent an invitation to Mr. Zhou. You have a good relationship with Mr. Zhou. Do you know if Mr. Zhou will come over today?
?”
Jingxiu said loudly: "I've said it before, my relationship with Mr. Zhou is not what you think. Mr. Zhou is such a big shot. How can he have any friendship with me, a cigarette seller? How could I know if he would come?
"
He is different from Lu Meilin. Lu Meilin uses Zhou Chen's name to show off her power and brag in various ways.
He, on the other hand, would immediately refute every time someone mentioned that he and Zhou Chen had a good relationship.
In Zhizhen Garden, Tao Tao was wearing a straight suit, carrying a leather bag, and his 28-year-old hairstyle was sleek and shiny. He was trying to make friends with Manager Pan.
"Manager Pan, this is my new business card. Don't forget, I am Mr. Bao's best brother. I also know Mr. Zhou. I deliver aquatic products and seafood to Mr. Zhou's uncle's Guichengxuan Restaurant.
Yes, Mr. Zhou even gave me cigarettes."
Manager Pan was originally nonchalant, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"Mr. Tao, are you familiar with Mr. Zhou?"
The expression on Tao Tao's face froze. Guichengxuan was indeed a gift of seafood and aquatic products from him, and Zhou Chen also gave him cigarettes, but if you want to say how familiar they are, you are really bragging.
But the bullshit had already been blown out, and people asked questions, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Ah, well, it's not very familiar, but it's definitely more familiar than others..."
Just when he was in embarrassment, suddenly a young woman wearing brown woolen clothes and permed hair came over in a hurry.
"Taotao."
Tao Tao turned around and looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Miss Wang, Miss Wang..."
Li Li found out that Mr. Bao came to Huanghe Road, but did not come to Zhenyuan, but went to Honglu. He knew it, and then began to think about intercepting Mr. Bao's business and letting Mr. Fan cooperate with others.
As long as Mr. Fan cooperates with others in her Zhizhenyuan, word will soon spread outside. By then, others will know what she is capable of in Zhizhenyuan. Even if it is Mr. Bao's business, Zhizhenyuan will be able to steal it.
, this is definitely a very good publicity for Zhizhenyuan.
Because of her deliberate arrangement, Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan got acquainted, and there was a conflict with Mr. Wei's Yangpu Xiaoliuzi, and with Tao Tao, who came to invite Fan Xinhua on Mr. Bao's behalf.
Manager Pan reported to Li Li the situation on the other side.
"Mrs. Boss, after Xiao Liuzi from Yangpu brought people there, he had a conflict with Mr. Bao. The two sides seemed to be very unhappy. Mr. Bao and Miss Wang are leaving."
Li Li was not surprised and said softly: "Mr. Bao is also a famous figure on the Yellow River Road. How can a Yangpu young man scare him? But it seems that Bao always really doesn't give me the face of Zhizhenyuan. So this Fan
Sir, we must entertain you even more."
Instructing Manager Pan to keep an eye on the guests, she walked into the private room and saw Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan already sitting together and chatting happily.
After the conflict between Abao and Xiaoliuzi and others ended, he took Wang Mingzhu and Tao Tao out of Honglu, and then he and Wang Mingzhu got into the car and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a car suddenly drove onto Huanghe Road, and then bursts of excited cheers were heard.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou is here, Mr. Zhou is here!"
In an instant, the already lively Huanghe Road became even more lively. Countless people looked at the man who got out of the car at the end of Huanghe Road.
Abao, who had not left yet, was very surprised when he saw this scene: "He is here too. How can this Zhizhen Garden invite him?"
Wang Mingzhu also opened her eyes wide and looked over there.
"What is the background of Li Li, the proprietress of Zhizhenyuan? I have heard that Mr. Zhou is very difficult to invite and rarely attends such banquets."
"Who knows, Huanghe Road will be even more lively tonight, but we can't do anything anymore. Let's go back."
Zhou Chen's appearance on Huanghe Road also shocked many of the proprietresses on Huanghe Road. None of the proprietresses on Huanghe Road didn't want to treat Zhou Chen to a meal. Even if it was for a small fee, as long as Zhou Chen nodded, they would all flock to him.
But it's a pity that apart from the two venture capital meetings, Zhou Chen rarely comes to Huanghe Road. Even if he does come, he basically goes to Honglu or Jin Meilin, but the number of times is very few.
Today is the official opening day of Zhizhen Garden. Zhou Chen suddenly appeared on Huanghe Road. It is difficult not to associate him with Zhizhen Garden.
Zhou Chen stood beside the car, looking at the bustling Yellow River Road and the Zhizhen Garden in front of him.
Finally, they all got together, and a scene from the TV series was placed before his eyes, and today, it was obviously many times more lively than what was shown in the TV series.
Not far away, Lu Meilin saw Zhou Chen appearing and almost couldn't hold back and cursed.
"What happened to that woman? She actually invited him here. It's obvious at a glance that she used some dirty tricks. She is indeed a bitch."
The proprietresses of other hotels also cursed secretly. They already had a Red Heron and Jin Meilin, but now there is a larger and more luxurious Zhizhen Garden. If Zhou Chen supports Zhizhen Garden, then the Yellow River will
The road is really getting messier.
Zhou Chen didn't care about others, he smiled and waved to the person who came to greet him, and then he didn't go to Zhizhenyuan, but went to Jingxiu's cigarette paper shop.
"Mr. Zhou, you're actually here. It seems that this landlady is not simple. She can even invite you."
When Jingxiu saw Zhou Chen, he asked with a smile. Compared with others who were more flattering and polite, he spoke much more easily, because he didn't need to rely on Zhou Chen at all. The relationship between them was equal, so naturally there was no need to be too much.
Courtesy and respect.
Zhou Chen said: "I am very quiet and restless. I heard that Huanghe Road is very lively tonight, so I came over to take a stroll and see if I can get a free meal."
Jing Xiu smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Zhou wants to eat, I think there are restaurants on the entire Yellow River Road for you to choose from, and they are all free. People have to spend money to eat, but you, Mr. Zhou, not only don't have to spend money to eat, but you can also charge for it."
Where’s the money?”
"I really don't have the habit of eating and taking cards. There are gains and losses. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose to have to lose."
Zhou Chen chatted with Jing Xiu for a few words and then prepared to leave.
"Mr. Zhou, are you really going to Zhizhen Garden?"
"I heard that Zhizhenyuan is indeed quite luxurious. I want to see how it compares to the Dynasty on Zhapu Road and the Paramount on Yuyuan Road."
Zhou Chen waved his hand at Jing Xiu and then left.
Seeing Zhou Chen leaving, Jing Xiu smiled, but after a while, his expression became very strange.
"Hey, isn't Mr. Zhou going to Zhizhen Garden? In his direction, don't take the main entrance?"
In the private room, Li Lizheng quietly watched Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan brag and tease each other.
Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Manager Pan hurried to Li Li's side, leaned over and whispered in Li Li's ear.
"Boss Boss, Mr. Zhou is here."
Li Li's expression suddenly changed and he stood up from his chair.
"Where are they? I'll go there now."
While speaking, her face was also full of joy. Although Mr. Bao has been at Huanghe Road for a long time and has a great reputation, if you really compare him, Mr. Bao and Zhou Chen are definitely not on the same level.
Although Mr. Bao is very powerful, very capable, and good at doing business, his foreign trade is a shell company without any real industry, and the stock is not an insurance business.
But Zhou Chen is different. He is an investor, knows a lot of people, and has contact with many senior executives and big businessmen.
Moreover, Zhou Chen himself is very strong, an investor, and has a good vision.
Maybe many people are not optimistic about Zhou Chen's investment projects now, but she is different from most people, because she is also a middleman, and she needs to be discerning to match people. If someone like Zhou Chen is willing to help her, it will be better for her.
It's definitely a huge help.
The most important thing is that Zhou Chen is now a hot celebrity on Huanghe Road and even the whole of Shanghai. As long as Zhou Chen shows up in Zhizhen Garden, it will be a golden sign, which is obviously much stronger than those she hired before.
Manager Pan whispered: "Mr. Zhou did not go through the front door, but came in through the kitchen door at the back. Our people didn't dare to stop him. He may have entered the kitchen now."
Li Li looked stunned: "Take the small door of the kitchen?"
What's happening here?
She was really full of doubts at this time. She didn't understand why Zhou Chen left the front door open and insisted on using the small kitchen door at the back.
Is it because he used to be a cook?
Although she was extremely confused, she quickly reacted.
"Let's go to the kitchen."
With that said, he didn't even have time to say hello to Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan, and hurriedly left the private room.
Although Wei Hongqing and Fan Xinhua were talking, they also noticed something strange about Li Li and Manager Pan.
"what's the situation?"
"Looking at the look of the landlady, it looks like a big shot is here."
Wei Hongqing immediately sneered: "How big can a big shot be, bigger than you and me?"
"Haha, Mr. Wei is really good at joking. I'm just a nobody, but you are the big shot." Fan Xinhua flattered him.
Li Li and Manager Pan walked quickly to the kitchen. As soon as they arrived at the door of the kitchen, they saw Zhou Chen in a casual suit walking out of the kitchen.
"Mr. Zhou."
Li Li walked towards Zhou Chen and looked at the man she had met once before. She didn't know who Zhou Chen was at first, but now, she already knows how outstanding Zhou Chen is.
"The boss lady."
Zhou Chen reached out and shook Li Li gently.
Li Li took back his hand, smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this should be the second time we meet. Mr. Zhou can just call me Li Li."
Zhou Chen said: "That's not necessarily true. I heard that Miss Li Li was in Shenzhen City before. It just so happened that I also spent a long time in Shenzhen City. Maybe we had met in Shenzhen City. But at that time, Li Li
The lady may not be impressed by me."
"Mr. Zhou was joking. If I see an outstanding person like Mr. Zhou once, I will definitely remember him."
"Really? Miss Li has been in Shenzhen City for many years and must have heard of a Mr. A in Shenzhen City. Do you think I am stronger or weaker than Mr. A?"
Li Li's expression froze instantly. Looking at the smile on Zhou Chen's face, her heart was shocked. She never thought about what her first conversation with Zhou Chen would be like, but she never thought that Zhou Chen would meet her for the first time.
He actually mentioned the person in his heart.
"I don't know Mr. A, so I can't compare him, but I really can't think of anyone who is more outstanding than Mr. Zhou."
"Thank you boss lady for the compliment."
"Today is a good day for the official opening of Zhizhenyuan. It is my greatest honor and my honor for Mr. Zhou to come to Zhizhenyuan. I'm just sorry that I don't understand why Mr. Zhou doesn't go through the front door but the kitchen at the back.
Are you afraid of attracting too much attention when you come in through the small door? This is not right, as long as Mr. Zhou comes to Huanghe Road, you will be the center of attention. "
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It's purely a personal habit. Miss Li Li must also know that I used to be a cook, and I was also a cook on the Yellow River Road, so I have a lot to do with the kitchen. The first time I came to Zhenyuan, I wanted to
Go into the kitchen and have a look; I have to say, Miss Li Li is really capable, and the kitchen is much better than other restaurants on Huanghe Road."
"Mr. Zhou was so impressed. Then Mr. Zhou took a walk around the kitchen of Zhizhenyuan. Did you find any problems? If so, please tell us so that we can make improvements in time."
"very good."
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, exposed it lightly, and then asked: "I'm just here for dinner today, and I didn't notify Miss Li before I came. If there is no private room, I can go to the lobby. Anyway, I am only one person.
"
Li Li immediately said: "Mr. Zhou is here. There must be a private room. It has been prepared for you. I will take you there now."
"Then I'll trouble Miss Li."
Li Li specially took Zhou Chen from the kitchen door to the hall.
When Li Li and Zhou Chen passed by the hall, many people saw Zhou Chen, and the scene suddenly became lively.
"Mr. Zhou, it's Mr. Zhou who is here."
"Mr. Zhou is really here. The lady boss is really good at it."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am..."
"Mr. Zhou..."
As soon as Zhou Chen appeared, he became the center of attention. Even Li Li, the beautiful boss lady, was reduced to a supporting role, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she smiled and watched everyone getting close to Zhou Chen. This was why she deliberately brought Zhou Chen with her.
The reason for walking down the hall.
She wanted everyone to know that Zhou Chen came to Zhizhen Garden only after being invited by her.
Zhou Chen dealt with everyone and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, everyone is here for dinner today. We can't neglect the host, so I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Li Li continued to lead Zhou Chen towards the elevator.
"Mr. Zhou's reputation is really great. Almost all the guests who come to my Zhizhen Garden know Mr. Zhou."
"Of course, who in Shanghai doesn't know that Zhou Chen is a 'foolish man with a lot of money'." Zhou Chen said mockingly to himself.
Li Li said: "The people who say these things are short-sighted. How can such people understand Mr. Zhou's behavior? Mr. Zhou started from scratch and built such a business in less than two years. How is it possible?
Will make a loss-making business."
Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head and said: "Then you are really wrong. I do a lot of loss-making business, especially when it comes to women. Almost all I do is loss-making business, but no one knows about it.
.”
Li Li looked surprised, because according to her understanding and investigation, she didn't find that Zhou Chen was too close to any woman. But from Zhou Chen's tone, it seemed that there was more than one woman?
A joke, or is it true?
"Mr. Zhou is joking. I really can't imagine how different a woman is from a woman like you, Mr. Zhou, who can do business at a loss."
Zhou Chen smiled casually and did not explain.
After getting out of the elevator, the two of them soon arrived at the private room, and Li Li opened the door for him personally.
"Mr. Zhou, please."
"Thanks."
Zhou Chen walked into the private room and looked at the decoration in the private room. To be honest, this private room is indeed very luxurious. Even if it is placed thirty years later, it is definitely not backward. Compared with other hotels on the Yellow River Road, it is definitely a dimension reduction blow.
.
"Mr. Zhou, what would you like to eat?"
"Isn't there a minimum consumption for private rooms? Just follow this minimum consumption."
"Okay, what do you want to drink that week?"
"Maotai bar."
"Manager Pan, go and make arrangements yourself."
Li Li gave instructions to Manager Pan who came with him. Manager Pan immediately responded, then walked out of the private room and went to make arrangements.
Zhou Chen looked at Li Li and said, "Ms. Li Li has a great business today. You don't need to stay with me here. You can go and do what you need to do."
Li Li smiled and said: "Although I am very busy today, Mr. Zhou is the most distinguished guest of my Zhizhen Garden today. It is my responsibility to arrange you well."
"There's no need to talk about the scene. It sounds really tiring. You are the boss's wife, so you can't neglect other customers just for me. Go ahead and do your work. I understand."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was indeed sincere, Li Li said nothing more, just thanked him and left the private room.
Happy New Year to all my brothers!
During the New Year, there are always some entertainment events that cannot be put off, so I would like to explain in advance that I will try my best to update these days, but the number of updates may be reduced, so please forgive me!
There is also a copy of The Next World. It has been recommended by everyone and I am currently watching "Zhou Sheng Ru Ru Ru". If nothing else, I will write about this in the next world or the next world.
